    If we weren't so deep in bed with Reagan, Bush and Cheney's best friends, The Saudis, we would not have this problem. It's hard to fight terrorists when we support terrorists.

    You said it in a lot fewer words than I did.

    So, the DCI gives an unprecedented press conference, that airs live from Langley, and it doesn't generate a single comment.

    Yeah, this is a thorough discussion of the issue, and the Democrat staff report.

    I've not come across many who like to hear themselves talk more than John Brennan.

    Surprised of his willingness to discuss the ongoing Drone strike program.

    Drones definitely the way to go. Perfectly legal per John Brennan with added benefit of
    dead men tell no tales.

    "Sure, we as a nation have always killed people. A lot of people. But no president has ever waged war by killing enemies one by one, targeting them individually for execution, wherever they are. The Obama administration has taken pains to tell us, over and over again, that they are careful, scrupulous of our laws, and determined to avoid the loss of collateral, innocent lives. They're careful because when it comes to waging war on individuals, the distinction between war and murder becomes a fine one. Especially when, on occasion, the individuals we target are Americans and when, in one instance, the collateral damage was an American boy." / Tom Junod

    Your point?

    Our fucked-up foreign policy is hardly partisan in nature. Want to know what presidential candidate Russia LEAST wants to win in 2016? Because they believe this president is MOST likely to wage war? Hillary.

    Was not a big fan of Mitt but have to give him his due. He was right about Russia

    Just thought it was funny that the two foreign policy fuck-ups you pointed out were perpetrated by the two worst presidents of our lifetime.

    Clearly Olympics in Russia and Democrat Presidents are a bad combination
